Oatmeal with cinnamon and apples
This is my go to breakfast most mornings. It is quick, full of great nutrients and fibre and is on the low glycemic index which means it gives me energy right until lunch.
Garlicky Chard
Want to take a break from kale? Give chard a chance. It’s a nutritious green and makes a great warm salad. I made this super easy warm chard-red quinoa salad in less than 15 minutes for a quick lunch. Its loaded with garlic and I topped it with tomatoes to add some freshness. You can add other veggies for more color and taste, add an egg, grilled tofu…this has endless possibilities!!
Broiled Polenta Cakes
Pane d' Altamura (rustic Italian bread)
This Altamura bread recipe comes from the region of Puglia in Italy where the flavor, texture and look of this bread is honored by locals and tourists alike.
No Knead Herb Bread
This is a very flavorful recipe. Feel free to adapt it as the ratios are simple. There is very little to no hands on work here! However, this requires some planning ahead.
Daal (Lentil Soup)
This lentil soup is the perfect comfort food. Make a huge batch and freeze the rest for later.
Anthony Myint's French Toast Crunch
What happens when the minds behind Mission Chinese cross creme brûlée, French toast, and tres leches cake? An indulgent, 5-ingredient treat -- maybe the best pick-me-up we've ever had. French Toast Crunch is Anthony Myint's brilliant brûléed buttered toast resting in a pool of warm, sweet milk: our old friend milk toast, all dressed up. In his book, he lists 13 variations, from Matcha to Baklava. We've included a simple chamomile option, but feel free to make it your own. Adapted slightly from Mission Street Food (McSweeney's, 2011).
Perfect Popcorn
To make the perfect popcorn, the recipe calls for neutral oil, like grape-seed, popcorn kernels, butter, and a generous pinch of salt. It's so easy and tasty!
Citrus & Fresh Fig Chia Seed Pudding
This is a lightly fragrant and delicately flavored citrus and fresh fig chia seed pudding. I love fresh figs and now is the time to devour them. The little fig seeds mingle with the chia seeds for a crunchy texture and the citrus and maple brighten the otherwise mellow, creamy pudding. It’s not quite dessert but it is a lovely and refreshing summer breakfast for two.
Breakfast Quinoa Bowl
This is the perfect alternative to your breakfast oats. Cooked quinoa simmered in almond milk creates a creamy and hearty breakfast porridge. Full of vitamins, fiber, and protein, this is an incredibly healthy and delicious meal.
Lemony Shrimp and Quinoa
This quick and easy lemony dish uses two of my favourite things.....Shrimp and Quinoa! These two items are on my list of quick and easy go to meals. You can do just about anything with them in a very short time.
Stuffed Tomatoes with Quinoa
This recipe is great as a side dish or for a light meal.
Quinoa with apricot and pine kernels
I discovered the quinoa just a year ago, and now I'm fan number one. A friend runs a health product shop, and we come together a couple of times a week to talk about food, and this is our new baby.
Quinoa with edamame and sundried tomatoes
I'm the kind of cook that comes up with recipes with what I have on hand. Always have quinoa and sundried tomatoes in my pantry. This quick and easy recipes is great as a side dish.
Rich and Creamy Swiss-style Muesli
Beat the summer heat with the traditional Swiss-style muesli! The creamy texture and refreshing aftertaste makes you wonder if this is a breakfast cereal or an elegant dessert. I like my museli with berries, but feel free to add your favourite dried fruits for extra flavour.
Breakfast quinoa
Great healthy high protein breakfast that will keep you energetic and sustained for many hours. Great for baby/toddlers breakfast as well. One pot makes plenty as a quick breakfast during the work week, too.
Steakhouse Barley
I love getting sauteed mushrooms and creamed spinach with my steaks when I go out, and I recently found myself craving both while grilling up some steak-burger patties. Two sides, however, seem a little excessive for a weeknight dinner, so I combined them with barley for a quick dish. This makes a great cold lunch the day after, too.
Shiso Nigiri with Avocado and Umeboshi Paste
You know what's fun? Ordering vegetarian food in Japan. (Share your dietary preferences and country of choice in the comments.) I love vegetarian sushi (it's one of the only acceptable times to have soy sauce on your rice), but even speaking the language and spelling out what I don't eat didn't always help. So sometimes you just have to take matters into your own hands. No more boring cucumber rolls! (No, not really. But make these AND cucumber rolls!)
Basic Rice Cream (Vegan)
This basic vegan rice cream can be made into dozens of wonderful recipes: creamy soups, whipped creams, and puddings. It's an excellent dairy alternative.
Kale & Quinoa Salad
All winter my favorite dish was "greens and beans." That general description allows for lots of variation, and we tried 'em all. For spring (and a hot day that felt like summer), I wanted a new, fresh salad that was substantial enough to stand up to grilled meat while still tasting light and bright. Kale, of course, is the miracle food of the moment (during a recent visit, a friend told me "every restaurant in Brooklyn has a kale salad"), and quinoa probably is too. Anyway, both offer earthy flavor with lots of protein and nutrients.
Thai Sticky Rice with Tropical Fruit
A simple, creamy coconut milk pudding that is a traditional Thai dessert. Yes, it is cooked in the microwave, but this gives the rice its perfectly al dente, shiny, and sticky quality that you are aiming for. The palm sugar is interchangeable with other sugars, and choose your favorite tropical fruit to accompany the rice. However, the Thai sticky rice is essential! Another sticky rice will do (I've used black sticky rice), but you can't beat the Thai stuff.
Homemade Corn Tortilla Chips
It's easy to make homemade tortilla chips for salsa or guacamole, or making nachos. Try this masa harina recipe and you'll never go back to store-bought.
Paella Master Recipe
The technique for paella is pretty straightforward: Unlike with risotto, paella is hardly stirred or not at all. And equally unlike with risotto (but very much as with Persian tahdig), you want a brown bottom, which is called socarrat, the sign of a good paella. This can be a matter of chance. But the likelihood increases if you keep the heat relatively high, turning it down only when you smell a little scorching. (That won’t ruin the dish as long as you catch it in time.) Perhaps the best thing about this recipe is that it is delightfully adaptable: Add whatever meat, seafood, vegetable or seasoning that sounds good to you.
April Bloomfield's English Porridge
This porridge recipe is just right. The steel-cut bits keep their pop, while the rolled oats melt around them—and that perfect texture only takes 20 minutes!
